WILKES-BARRE TWP. — A children’s theater asked to vacate the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre Twp. is being given another alternative.
Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, owner of the Wyoming Valley Mall, posted a statement on the mall’s website Wednesday saying they have offered KISS Theatre another option that would allow them to have space.
The option, however, may not be a viable solution, said Christa Manning, the theater’s artistic director.
Ms. Manning said the space is not located inside the mall, but in a shopping center owned by PREIT behind the mall. The space is empty and about 3,000 square feet smaller than the current location; the rent is much higher and the renovations needed are “unbelievable,” she said.
The theater’s board has not yet voted on whether to accept an official offer from the mall.
